SIBI-P1 Translation H2353-01
Chur
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (personal name); no prefixes or suffixes. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is a masculine singular proper name (HNp). Although etymologically linked to the root meaning "to be white" or "to shine," in Biblical usage it functions strictly as a personal name without an active lexical sense, so it is rendered as "Chur." |
